Jeané Coakley, SNY Jets Reporter:
There are plenty of new faces in the Jets secondary this season, but cornerback Ellis Lankster enters his third season with the Jets and is looking to build on last season. Hes a guy who works hard and always has a smile on his face. Lankster joins me today for Coakley’s Corner.

Jeane Coakley: How’s preseason been?

Ellis Lankster : It’s been great. I have been working hard and just trying to make coach Thurman stop fussing with me. (smiles)

Coakley: Why is he giving you a hard time?

Lankster: He told me that I don’t know how to practice yet. He had been fussing at me because he wants me to learn how to be a pro, which means work hard every day as if it’s a game. So he is always on me if I get beat in practice. He’s been like that with me for the last three years.

Ten questions to get to know Ellis Lankster…
